If you have ever played Borderlands 2 as seriously as me, you may have watched Yoteslaya’s YouTube videos for BL2 before. I used to view his Legendary and Unique weapons video series, where he shows the special weapon effects of many of the game’s more interesting guns. It’s very handy when you need actual footage to see how a gun actually performs in combat, and whether it suits your character.

According to the official Borderlands 2 Gearbox forums, Yoteslaya died in a train crash earlier today. There is an official news report of the incident here, but no names have been released for the victims yet.

Rest in peace. While I didn’t know you very well, I greatly enjoyed your helpful videos and it’s always sad to see a passionate gamer leave this world. Nobody deserves to die like that. May you continue loot hunting in that great big Vault in the heavens.
